Bolf: bowling and golf in the same league
« on: January 11, 2006, 11:18:27 AM »
I've participated in the same bolf (bowling and golf) league for 30 years.  Do any of you know of another league like this one?  The website describing it is:

The format for our league is discussed on the website I listed above.  Someone said that he couldn't get there, but it works for me from 2 different computers and networks.  Basically, we golf 9 holes then bowl 3 games.  The golf score is converted to an equivalent bowling score.  The combined score determines the match winner.  It's doubles and goes for about 11 weeks each summer.  It's a handicapped system (90% from 220, I think).

I participated in a league like that for about 10 Summers, through 1998.  Rather than converting the golf score to a bowling score, they broke up the nine holes into three groups of three holes, and assigned one point for each three holes, and one for total.  Likewise, it was one point per game of bowling, and one for total, so it was possible to win eight points a night.

The league fell apart because we ran out of people who were willing to pay the $30 or so that it took to cover the costs of golf and bowling.  There's talk that they may try to start this league up again, but I'm not holding my breath.  If they do, though, I'll be there for it.
